Re: RFS: x-tile



Not a DD. I just reviewed your package, this is lintian's output. It
looks like there is something need to be fixed.

[~/tmp]$ lintian -iI x-tile_1.8.6_amd64.changes 
W: x-tile source: ancient-standards-version 3.8.0 (current is 3.9.1)
N: 
N:    The source package refers to a Standards-Version that has been obsolete
N:    for more than two years. Please update your package to latest Policy and
N:    set this control field appropriately.
N:    
N:    If the package is already compliant with the current standards, you
N:    don't have to re-upload the package just to adjust the Standards-Version
N:    control field. However, please remember to update this field next time
N:    you upload the package.
N:    
N:    See /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.txt.gz in the
N:    debian-policy package for a summary of changes in newer versions of
N:    Policy.
N:    
N:    Severity: normal, Certainty: certain
N: 
I: x-tile: extended-description-is-probably-too-short
N: 
N:    The extended description (the lines after the first line of the
N:    "Description:" field) is only one or two lines long. The extended
N:    description should provide a user with enough information to decide
N:    whether they want to install this package, what it contains, and how it
N:    compares to similar packages. One or two lines is normally not enough to
N:    do this.
N:    
N:    Refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 6.2.1 (General guidelines
N:    for package descriptions) and Debian Developer's Reference section 6.2.3
N:    (The long description) for details.
N:    
N:    Severity: minor, Certainty: possible
N: 
W: x-tile: empty-binary-package
N: 
N:    This binary package appears to be empty, and its description does not
N:    say that it's a meta-package or a transitional package. This is often
N:    due to problems with updating debhelper *.install files during package
N:    renames or similar problems where installation rules don't put files in
N:    the correct place.
N:    
N:    If the package is deliberately empty, please mention in the package long
N:    description one of the phrases "meta-package," "dummy," "dependency
N:    package," "empty package," or "virtual package."
N:    
N:    Severity: important, Certainty: wild-guess
N:
